Roleplay Ranks and an invitation.

Post by Elysia » Mon Jul 19, 2021 6:11 pm

I've made a start with implementing the mobs and mobol for the Roleplay Ranks. You can find a stooped old woman at farms close to cities (Tanchico has no farm nearby, so she's outside the tavern).

As an example, here's Caemlyn's:


Inside the Old Farmhouse
A dirty, wooden table, a few worn chairs, and a fireplace with a large kettle
are the most prominent features of this farmhouse. The walls are wooden, as is
the floor; probably the source of the musty smell that fills the room. A large,
heavy, wooden door marks the exit to the west.
[ obvious exits: W ]
A stooped old woman assesses your behavior with deep set eyes.

Say help commands to get her to trigger, which will bring up the following commands to use:

SAY WHICH RPRANK
SAY HOW MANY RPQPS
SAY AWARD RPQP NAME # FOR REASON (for LS/SS councillors/ masters to use instead of normal clan awarding mobol if awarding rp qps, otherwise it won't be included in RP rank tallies)

At this point, the first two commands will only work for one person, that I tallied some RP qps of.

In the near future, I will be doing two things, aside from implenting the rest of the mobol (updates to follow in this thread):
- Going through all the RP clans and tallying their current RP qps, then assign them to the relevant RP rank. Note that this does not include shows done by Gleeminators, as they already get qps for shows.
- Going through the RP forums and award RP qps for entries posted.

As for the invitation part:

If you have old written stories, logs and whatnot and want them to count towards your Roleplay Ranks, feel free to (re-)post. I realize this will make the job bigger, but people have put in this effort before and it seems silly to disregard past efforts.

Roleplay Ranks overview

The Roleplay Ranks System

Requirement for entry: post a character biography on Roleplay Forum.

Rank 1 and rank 2:
  • Reward: ability to freely retool horse eq, e.g. a headstall with the name Sonny.
  • Requirement to rank to 3: post a character 'origin story' and one roleplay log of sufficient quality and length, and any other roleplay log(s) totalling 30 rpqps. Not including ingame exchanges like council rewards and rpkudos to prevent imms from having to tally (for now, rather start out cautious than backtrack)*.
Rank 3: 30 rpqps
  • Reward: ability to freely retool food and drink items.
  • Requirement to rank: One long roleplay log of sufficient quality.
Rank 4: 75 rpqps
  • Reward: access to the skilled craftswoman.
  • Reward: ability to change homeland to one fitting your character's background. Note: original homeland would be recorded, so in the event of rerolls, a 104 can change it back. Maybe I'd be able to automate.
  • Requirement to rank: a story that illustrates your character's journey OR a multi-log storyline RPed out.
Rank 5: 150 rpqps
  • Reward: issuable clan horse.
  • Requirement to rank: Two long roleplay logs of sufficient quality.
Rank 6: 400 rpqps
  • Reward: a mob in home city gets a unique response or greeting to your character, e.g. a Whitebridge guard nodding at Wisdom Thena and his hand unconsciously drifting to his purse.
  • Requirement to rank: organize a roleplay event, either public or for your clan.
Rank 7: 1000 rpqps
  • Reward: a unique, personal item of the player's own design. Not a weapon, non-rare. Has to be visible, e.g. a cloak, dress, gloves, shield. One per PLAYER, so one has to pick which character to RP to the max.
  • OR:
  • Reward: a personal mob, for your use only. Works the same as mastermob, but you can design it. It will be the same level as issuable mastermobs.

    For every subsequent 100 qps, you can have custom response mobol added to your mob, like the rank 6 mobol 'in the wild'. Up to 5 unique responses.
Rewards for roleplay logs and stories have been increased, as follows:

Rewards for roleplay logs:
1-6 qps, depending on length and quality. Think: a short rp log vs a long log from a festival/ something with many participants or a very long awesome log.

Potential +1 qp: editing the log, throwing it through the rplizer at the very least.
Potential +1 qp: editing the log extra well: removing excess mob movements, room descs and fixing socials.
Potential +2 qps: editing a long log, like a festival log etc.

Potential +1 qp: easy summary for imms to use and a list of the following:"

Log where Bobby gets drunk with Sally and Freddy in the tavern in Caemlyn, speaking of the political developments surrounding Andor and the increasing amounts of failed harvests. Lucy scolds them for imbibing too much and warns them against drinking on duty and Jimmy tries to entice them to a game of stones. Cindy comes in and shares some banter.

Point of view: Bobby
Main character: Sally
Main character: Freddy
Major participant: Lucy
Participant: Jimmy
Passerby: Cindy

etc.

Rewards for roleplay stories:
1-6 qps, depending on length and quality.

Potential +1 qp: if part of a series.

Relevant mobs:

For players to award qps for Roleplay Logs or stories posted on clan forums, you can use the stooped old woman mob. You can find a stooped old woman at farms close to cities (Tanchico has no farm nearby, so she's outside the tavern).

As an example, here's Caemlyn's:

Inside the Old Farmhouse
A dirty, wooden table, a few worn chairs, and a fireplace with a large kettle
are the most prominent features of this farmhouse. The walls are wooden, as is
the floor; probably the source of the musty smell that fills the room. A large,
heavy, wooden door marks the exit to the west.

SAY WHICH RPRANK
SAY HOW MANY RPQPS
SAY AWARD RPQP NAME # FOR REASON (for LS/SS councillors/ masters to use instead of normal clan awarding mobol if awarding rp qps, otherwise it won't be included in RP rank tallies)

How to use the perks:

Roleplay rank 1 and 2:
Visit the saddler, found in various stables and give him the horse equipment you wish to retool. SAY RPRETOOL sadle a blazing saddle.

Roleplay rank 3:

Roleplay rank 4:

Rvank 5:

Roleplay rank 6:
Contact immortals that you have achieved this rank and we can work something out.

Roleplay rank 7:
Contact immortals that you have achieved this rank and you can opt for either the personalized item or personalized mob.

Jael's idea was the catalyst for this whole system, so be sure to show your appreciation to him!

All Wisdoms, Gleemen and Illuminators with rpqps.
Alison, Anna, Artal, Catisune, Delion, Faiz, Firimei, Fleur, Halfhand, Isabel, Jael, Jaye, Jenda, Kael, Kali, Keisa, Lisennet, Magius, Marie, Mhaliah, Nest, Ominas, Onduril, Ormus, Rache, Ramos, Ranga, Reyne, Rico, Senamika, Talem, Theren, Trouse, Varnayl, Walden, Ysidoriusz.
